Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. 145 
4. setae on apex of outer plate, 10 on apical and inner margins of inner 
plate. 
Maxilliped, inner plate reaching to middle, outer plate just beyond 
end of Ist joint of palp, inner margin outer plate with 3 setules, apex 
with 1 elongate incurved spine, palp stout, 4th joint unguiform. 
First gnathopod, 2nd joint with a small lobe on anterior apex, 5th 
triangular, cup-shaped, process reaching half way along inferior 
margin of 6th, apically setose, 6th distally nearly as wide as long, 
palm transverse, gently convex, minutely denticulate with spinules at 
regular intervals, 2 spines at defining angle, finger matching palm, 
inner margin minutely denticulate, with a small tooth at inner apex. 
Second gnathopod similar but larger than Ist, process of 5th joit 
nearly reaching end of inferior margin of 6th, apex setose with a row 
of setae on margin next to 6th joint. 
First and second peraeopods similar to one another, a little stouter 
than Sars’ figures of the northern species, finger with a tooth at inner 
apex. 
Third peraeopod, 2nd joint oblong, twice as long as broad, fore 
and hind margins straight, postero-inferior angle rounded, joints 
stouter than in Ist and 2nd peraeopods, spinules on anterior margin 
stronger. 
Fourth peraeopod similar to 3rd; but 2nd joint not twice as long as 
broad, more oval, fore and hind margins shghtly convex. 
Fifth peraeopod, 2nd joint half as long again as broad. 
First uropod longest, reaching to end of 3rd uropod, rami subequal, 
not as long as peduncle, narrow, apices acute, margins spinulose. 
Second uropod, outer ramus scarcely more than half length of inner, 
which is subequal to peduncle, margins spinulose. 
Third uropod, outer ramus shorter than inner, which is a little 
shorter than peduncle, margins very feebly spinulose. 
Length : 2-3°5 mm. 
Colour: Uniform black, dark brown, or claret, or anterior half of 
body dark, the posterior half white or very pale yellowish, some speci- 
mens pale claret with 2 deeper transverse bands on each of peraeon 
segments 1-6 and 5 longitudinal stripes from peraeon segment 7 to 
end of pleon; 4th—6th pleon sezments, telson, uropods and all the 
limbs always lighter than the rest. Eyes black. 
Locality: Buffels Bay and St. James (False Bay). 28/9/13 and
